premise
in a little town far, far from home...
RISE AND SHINE
You don't remember falling asleep, but you're waking up suddenly to the hustle and bustle of many individuals around you preparing for the day. You're in some kind of communal bedroom in a fairly comfy bedroll, and before you can even get your bearings, one of the people in the room with you is tossing a uniform your way.
"Get up! The boss won't like it if you're late on your first day... Hurry it up!"
You'll find a contract tucked into your regular clothes as you get up and get ready - it will spell everything out for you. You, a human (or perhaps "a human") have arrived in the world of spirits. To keep yourself safe from those who might make a meal of you, you've signed on to work for a woman simply known as "the Witch". In return, she's taken your name - do you even remember what it is? The name signed on this contract in your handwriting certainly isn't your original name...
With contract in hand, it's up to you to do the Witch's bidding - and that means working in this Japanese-styled bath house to the best of your ability. The spirits aren't particularly fond of you and will do little to help, but you aren't the only human newcomer. Perhaps it's time to get acquainted with your fellow captives... or maybe take a look around the town outside and learn more about your surroundings?

ALTERNATE UNIVERSE
Or perhaps yours is a different tale - perhaps you're not human (or "human") at all. A spirit native to this world, you bring one of the four elements to your will and have willingly chosen residence in this town... or perhaps you've also signed a deal with the Witch for some reason or other. Either way, your livelihood depends on the success of the bath house and the town of Yokoto; will you see it grow or will these wayward humans get in your way?
Unbeknownst to you, you aren't exactly who you think you are. The magics between worlds are unstable and unpredictable; in arriving in this one, you took the form of a native and gained memories that link you to this world, though you're really someone else entirely! You may have a different name, perhaps even different features to reflect your status as a spirit, but regardless you will eventually start regaining memories, physical appearances, and powers from your other self...

PREMISE
Welcome to the tiny town of Yokoto, a busy little gathering point of spirits on their way from one destination to the next. The Yokoto bath house is quite famous for its hot springs, hospitality, and powerful owner, and many come just to enjoy the evening here. Though the town is mostly active during the night, daily activities and lives of the people here carry on as normal. Just where do you fit into this? Are you a human ("human") dragged in from another world, or are you one of the spirits ("spirits") believed to be originally from this world?
Yokoto is an invite-only private check-in sandbox game. Made as a resting place between games, Yokoto is likewise an in-between point for characters on their journeys. Just where will their stories go while here?
